Yes, pooladm is one approach.
Fair warning though, a lot of software companies, for example Oracle, license by the cpu (or core). But. The major gotcha is how they determine the core or cpu count. For Solaris and Linux, as an example, it is not for the virtual (zone) itself, but for the whole box. All cores/cpus on the box count. Not the zone's count. We had one zone (8 cores, pooladm) running several db's. No other oracle app anywhere on the box. We were audited. All 32 cores on the global zone is what we have to use for licensure now, for that machine.
